So many flies! Four stars for the flies.

Expected more - Disappointing…read more Our recent dinner at Kennedy's Pub in Marlborough, MA left a lot to be desired, offering a completely mediocre experience from start to finish. I ordered the highly anticipated prime rib, but it arrived noticeably tough and severely under-seasoned, falling well below average for a pub standard. The sides didn't offer any redemption either, as the options were incredibly weak, bland, and served lukewarm. Compounding the underwhelming food was the poor service; our bartender was consistently inattentive, leaving our drinks empty for long stretches and making us track down the check ourselves. Thanks

The place is open for dinner nightly and has a casual modern upscale feel with high ceilings, ample table seating, full service bar with seating, TVs above, and comfortable soft chairs to the side. The seating area is also used for the hotel breakfast bar. The tavern food menu offerings include a selection of sandwiches, burgers, wraps, lobster rolls, salads, starters (wings, warm pretzels, calamari, parmesan truffle fries), chowder, flatbreads, steak, chicken, seafood, pasta, kids menu, and desserts. The prices are moderate. The full service bar has 6 draft beers, beer bottles/cans, wine list, cocktails and mocktails. I stopped by Stone 31 for dinner recently and headed to an open seat at the bar. The place was moderately busy with basketball games on the TVs. There were food and drink menus already on the bar. The bartender offered a drink (got water) and took my food order. My entree arrived in 27 minutes after ordering. For dinner, the Pappardelle ($19 plus tax) had soft wide noodles tossed in a thick creamy cheddar cheese sauce & pesto with baby spinach and sundried tomatoes. This pasta dish had a lot of sauce, which was rich and filling and I got some of it to go. For dessert, the Banana Bread Pudding ($11 plus tax) was served warm with banana slices in the pudding topped with a sweet bananas foster sauce, served with vanilla gelato and cool whip on the side. After I was done, the check was given which was $32.10 with tax and before tip. Overall, I had an enjoyable dinner sitting up at the bar to take a break from driving around much of the day. I definitely needed some food before heading home.

I had the fish tacos and they were able to make them grilled instead of fried (yum - and they were HUGE!!). Drinks were great too. If you are in Natick, this cute place is a must try!!

I was so excited to return here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I'd been here twice before and…read morereally enjoyed it, but reservations are hard to come by, so it had been quite a while since my last visit. Unfortunately, this visit didn't live up to my previous experiences. It was an extremely hot evening, with temperatures in the upper 80s, and sadly the restaurant wasn't much cooler inside. We were a party of six and spent most of dinner fanning ourselves with dessert menus. We even asked for cups of ice and were literally holding them against ourselves to cool down! It became almost comical, but no one wants to spend dinner sweating. One bright spot was our server, who was warm, attentive, and very professional. The cocktail list was fairly limited, but the Passion cocktail was delicious--and thankfully served ice cold. As for the food, the cornbread was outstanding, and the tuna tartare was easily the star of the meal. The other women in our group enjoyed their entrees, but mine was a major disappointment. I ordered the fish tacos based on our server's recommendation. The portion was enormous--three tacos, each packed with fish--but the fish itself was incredibly dry and lacked flavor. I even asked for extra aioli, hoping it would help, but the tacos were still nearly inedible. I ate less than half of one taco. What was most disappointing was that no one acknowledged it. When my plate was cleared with almost the entire meal untouched, no one asked if anything was wrong. I didn't want to make a scene during a birthday dinner with friends, but I also don't think I should have had to pay for a meal that was barely edible. Dessert sounded much more exciting than it actually was. The chocolate brownie was dry, the "Cows in Quicksand" dessert looked unappetizing, the cookies were hard, and the champagne mangoes were underripe. We still had a fabulous evening celebrating with friends, but the dining experience itself fell well short of expectations. Between the uncomfortable heat and the disappointing food, this wasn't the memorable return visit I'd been looking forward to. Dining in a sauna simply isn't on most people's list of enjoyable dinner experiences.

I've eaten all around the world, and this truly ranks among my favorite places.

In my opinion, this place is Michelin-star worthy, yet it's still reasonably priced for the quality of what you're getting. My wife and I can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu!

Nashoba Valley -- An Enchanting Afternoon Among the Vines, Followed by an Unforgettable Evening!…read more Some places offer a wonderful meal. Others offer beautiful surroundings. And then there are those rare destinations that bring together exceptional food, gracious hospitality, breathtaking scenery and unexpected little moments of delight. Nashoba Valley is one of those places! We visited last week, a party of four, and what began as a leisurely lunch turned into an absolutely magical afternoon and evening. From dining beside the grapevines and wandering through the apple orchards to wine tasting and an exquisite dinner, every part of our visit was a pleasure. Our first stop was The Knoll, where we settled in for lunch surrounded by the beauty of the vineyards. The sandwiches were excellent, and our server was an absolute delight--warm, cheerful, attentive and always smiling. But the highlight of our afternoon was something entirely unexpected. As we sat enjoying our lunch, we noticed the grapevines nearby. When we learned that we were welcome to pick and taste the grapes directly from the vines, we were thrilled! These were the tiniest, sweetest little grapes, bursting with natural sweetness. There we were, four adults, having the most marvelous time plucking grapes straight from the vines and savoring every bite. It was such a simple pleasure, yet it became one of the most memorable moments of our visit. There is something wonderfully indulgent about enjoying nature's bounty right where it grows! After lunch, we took a leisurely stroll through the beautiful orchard, admiring the apple trees and picking a few apples along the way. The grounds were lovely, and the entire experience had that unhurried, quintessentially New England charm that makes an afternoon in the countryside so special. Our next stop was wine tasting, another thoroughly enjoyable experience and a lovely way to spend the afternoon before heading to J's Restaurant for dinner. And what an extraordinary way to end the day! J's is an absolute gem. From the outside, the rustic farmhouse has an understated, old-world charm. Step inside, however, and you discover an interior that is cozy, elegant and stunningly beautiful. It strikes that wonderful balance between refined dining and the warmth of a country home. The atmosphere is inviting and intimate, without a hint of pretension. The dinner itself was phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was beautifully prepared and absolutely delicious. The quality of the food, the presentation and the attentive hospitality made for a truly memorable dining experience. By the time we finished our meal, we were so delightfully satisfied that we simply couldn't contemplate dessert. But J's had one final surprise in store for us! We were told that the owner has a charming tradition for guests who don't order dessert. Moments later, out came the most whimsical little treat: complimentary cotton candy, beautifully presented in elegant glasses! It was completely unexpected, wonderfully playful and such a delightful gesture. After an exquisite dinner, this little flourish brought smiles to all our faces. It was the perfect finishing touch to an already exceptional evening. What impressed me most about Nashoba Valley was the genuine warmth and hospitality we encountered throughout our visit. From our lovely server at The Knoll to the gracious service at J's, everyone made us feel welcome. There is an unmistakable sense of pride and care here, not only in the food and wine but also in the experience they create for their guests. Nashoba Valley is so much more than a winery or a restaurant. It is a destination to be savored. Come for a leisurely lunch, linger among the vineyards, wander through the orchards, enjoy a wine tasting and finish with a beautiful dinner at J's. Better still, bring your friends and family and make an entire day of it, as we did. We arrived expecting a pleasant afternoon in the countryside and left with wonderful memories, full hearts and very full stomachs! An absolutely enchanting experience from beginning to end. We cannot wait to return!

Even though it was a Tuesday we were surprised that it wasn't busier than it was! They've done such a nice job with the interior - all different types of seating, great bar area and even long pub style tables which people can sit at or stand around. For some reason, I feel as though this spot may have fallen under the radar a little bit? This place honestly has such amazing potential to be a go-to spot in Natick. It could be such a great spot to meet up with friends, family, or even go to on a date! It's clean and spacious yet also feels cozy and intimate. In my opinion, they just need to get more people in there to really get the vibes going! We sat at the bar and the bartender, Mike, was wonderful. He was attentive and friendly but also not overbearing. We ordered the sticky wings (yum!!), the giant warm pretzel (yum, yum!), and the street taco flat bread. The wings were so yummy. The warm pretzel was the perfect cold weather appetizer and really delicious - my only feedback is that I wish there was some way to keep the pretzel warm longer so that you don't feel as though you have to rush to eat it. The flatbread had great flavors! It maybe could have been cooked a little bit longer just to give it a little more crisp (personal preference) but we still ate the whole thing. I really hope more people check this place out and start going because I want it to stay and be successful! Great selection of beers on tap, wine, liquor etc. I wouldn't complain if they just so happened to start carrying Miller High Life bottles
